From 1992 to 2006 DC made animated TV shows for their many characters. They were all in the same universe and had many criss overs and used the same voice actors. It was a hot and was very popular. Starting with Batman, spin offs were made with Superman and later combined them for the Justice League. That was so popular, Cartoon Network made a new show that had EVERY DC charcter called Justice League Unlimited.

Your goal, is for Cartoon Network to keep making episodes and keep the project alive until 2015.
 
In late 2005 the toy line tie-in to the show is mentioned by Will Smith on a late night talk show as the toy his children desperately wanted for Christmas and how he himself thought they were cool. Sales immediately jump up and superhero action figures become the must-have toy of the season.

Cartoon Network, eager to play on the rising popularity renews the show for an additional two years. A moderately popular trading card game based on DC superheros is released in 2007. A series of spinoffs are created starting in 2008, the most successful being Teen Titans, aimed at a younger audience than the original show.

The DC television universe then follows a trajectory similar to Pokemon with new characters and settings being introduced each time ratings begin to slide. The show never recovers the popularity it had in the 2006 season but sales of Justice League toys, card games, and later computer games remain strong enough that the show remains on the air.

That's great! I forgot to ask that somehow the Teen Titans and The Batman cartoons be combined in the universe
 
Easy. Someone picks Paul Dini or Bruce Timm to take over running DC instead of Dan DiDio (who had an animation background with Reboot).
 
Personal opinion: I was happy to see it end. The Batman cartoon was great. After they went with the cheap animation redesigns, combined with less mature story telling, it wasn't all that great.
 
I liked the animation of Beware the Batman, but hated the mischaracterization of Anarky. If I had wanted a new chief rogue instead of the Joker all the time, I would have chosen, say, Black Mask, The Ventriloquist, Scarecrow, or Chuck Dixon's mobster interpretation of The Penguin.
 
I myself don't know how to do this, but I love the DCAU ( Shayera Hol Forever!) So I would be very happy to see it alive and kicking to today.

Maybe some kind of mini series on the Founding Members of the JL, or more maybe a movie. And maybe even some video games for XBox and Playstation. Yes, they was DCAU video games, but something big, fast and some RP in it.
